The Dangerous Lie About Hard Work | Ep. 094
Is hustle without mastery just wasted motion?
You show up. You grind. You hustle.
But what if none of that is moving the needle because your effort isn’t effective?
In this episode of King Moves, Ethan and Justin unpack a powerful insight from a world-class speaker who built a literal Ninja Warrior rig on stage to make a point: practice alone is ineffective if you aren't practicing the right moves.
They challenge the myth that more reps automatically lead to better results, and reveal how minor technical tweaks—whether in athletics, business, or public speaking—can unlock explosive momentum.
If you’ve been stuck in the loop of “doing the work” but seeing no progress, this episode will force you to reevaluate your approach.
What you will learn in this episode
How to spot the difference between effort and effective effort
How to level up your results through small technical adjustments
How to avoid the trap of practicing the wrong thing
How to make your message unforgettable using metaphor and props
How to surround yourself with people who’ve “paid the school fees” so you don’t have to
Questions answered
What’s the hidden danger of “just doing the work”?
How do elite performers approach daily practice differently?
What makes a speaking performance not just good—but unforgettable?
How can props enhance a message rather than distract from it?
